Thanks Monty, that's one of my mixes. I always find something i'm not happy with after the fact, and with that whole EP it's that the guitars don't have balls!
-
Thanks man. The audio is from one of our EPs. If you like it you can download it from http://www.no-logo.co.uk for free. We produced them all ourselves, so any opinion on sounds is cool.

Our band made a video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6Az6MZnzO0 I don't know if that's working actually, so it's here:

Heh, yeh, I made the site, and we used to have a full website, but with no traffic, and a crappy myspace with lots of traffic, so we though - merge the two! Now we have a myspace with lots of traffic where the visitors can get more than on most myspace pages. You get to the same page if you visit http://www.no-logo.ws or .co.uk
-
Heh, how did you do that? I got it like that before, but can't remember how. Do you keep pressing the "add menu" on the myspace? Still, it looks cool and gets us more hits. Any web design tips are more than welcome.
-
Yeh, we played there before and these was no-one there. We're putting some effort in, I think we're playing with some friends from Stoke who usually sort out a crowd, but I could be wrong. Shame you can't come dude!
-
Thanks, i've just e-mailed them.

Yeh, that's 'cos they're both so amazing at their instruments! Fiends. That's how a rythm section should be! Thanks for the links.
-
He's deffinitely not shit. I love some of his beats and etc. but you do seem to pay a lot of attention to his technique, where as the most impressive part of what Dom does (for me) are the beats he writes, not how he plays them. Sorry, I don't belong in this thread, i'll bugger off!
-
You know, there are better drummers to get obsessed over.
-
Heh, sorry, I was being sarcastic, in relation to earlier in this thread. I don't think you were here, you probably weren't invited. Sorry, I didn't mean to embarass you!
-
I don't think Dom would buy a double kick, seeing as double kicks are gay, and no-one should ever buy one, let alone use one. If you have a double kick, it's because you're a shit drummer, and we all know Dom's amazing. Niles, I like your sig, i've lost that article, could you link me? They have a new drummer now :-( but I saw them live with Jon Theodore!
-
I've seen that before. I love jojo mayer, he's a fiend. I love his band too. I was talking more in relation to heavy rock/metal double kicking, which you have a problem with. I'm not 100% sure, but I reckon is jojo mayer went into the studio with, Slipknot, for example, or Tool, or whoever, he's take a double kick. I bet you any amount of money that he owns one.
-
I don't think Adam stole his backrest. I don't think Adam has Dom's old backrest.
-
He can afford a new one! Who stole my aria pro 2 hollow body with Muther bucker? :-(
-
Our drummer wears shorts on stage.

What's the difference between a presumption and an assumption? Glad you agree with my MUSE=Britney Spears comment. Has anyone else noticed the Britney Spears cover on the latest album? When I play drums, I always get a bad back, and I saw it mentioned in a post previously. Any tips?
-
Heh, i'm not going to go on a very long ranting critique of MUSE and the direction they have gone in, apart from to say that I think Hullabuloo is the best thing they've done, B-sides, and live DVD. I don't think they'll ever top it. They lost all their energy making Absolution IMO. Maybe it is simply coincidental that when they start getting massive, raking in more cash, Bellamy puts less effort into his lyrics, adopts several cheesy singing styles, and the album is over produced to the extent of putting Britney Spears to shame. On the latest MUSE album there's even a Britney Spears cover. I've heard it on the radio. Still, i think they're the best live band i've ever seen bar only TOOL. They deffinitely deserve all their awards/recognition/money. EDIT: That was a small rant sorry. I'm so full of hubug! I shall shut it now as this is totally irrelevant to the thread and bound to annoy plenty of loyal fans.

I don't know anything about MUSE's latest music, i've really gone off them. I don't really want to argue about it, it's just from my experience (and we're talking tiny little details in the studio, watching drummers lots, listening lots) double kick double kicks, are more consistent than single kick double kicks, or triplets, or...... But, i've never recorded with you or Dom. It's cool to be less consistent anyway, it adds an expressive feel, like I said. I haven't listened to the latest MUSE album, but I bet the kicks are processed beyond recognition to make them sound consistent. In a live situation, they will have shit loads of compression to attempt to acheive the same effect, but it won't be as consistent on CD.
-
It's presumptuous to assume I was being facetious :-p Anyway, yeh, I love The Mars Volta etc, I do love it when you can hear all the expressiveness of a drummer. Like I say, it's not 100% of rock music that gets airplay, just like 90% ish. I'm all for jazz drummers etc, I love TOOL, I love drummer world. I'm just harking on about the (occasionally depressing) harsh realities of recorded commercial music. Fair enough.
-
Well it's obvious that I can read and I made no personal comments about anyone. Like I said, no matter what your opinions are on production and drum sounds, listen to the radio.
-
What is my presumption? I have been in the studio with numerous drummers. A double kick is more consistent in velocity, and therefore in tone. It's a technical fact. Like I say, you may have your own ideas about production, but if you're in a rock band that's going to get radio play, all the kicks on your song have to be almost identical. When I say "have to be" obviously, this isn't a fact, but it is the predominant trend, and without a doubt, that is fact. I think we're talking about different things. If a drummer NEEDS a double kick to play a beat, then that says something about the beat. I'm not talking about beats, i'm talking about sound. Heh, that's a bit personal. You still haven't justified not wanting a double kick. If you had as much money as you wanted for your kit, you wouldn't buy a double kick, and I think that's a bad choice, and you haven't explained why it's a good one. I don't like the fact that quotes of me were lumped in with quotes from other people, and turned into one big rant. There was one reply reffering to your ability to put someone down. However, I think you were just putting down portnoy in relation to someone else's opinion. So, yeh, why would you not buy a double kick if you had enough money?
